Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
I loved 363. While it will always be difficult to maintain attention in an online lecture, the concepts were interesting and Professor Steinberg offered great explanations. Also enjoyed the application of theories with the interview project. Really fair grading for exams and the paper if you do the readings and watch lectures- not too much to ask

while the material is interesting for most of the lectures, her voice gets irritating. do not wait until last minute to watch the lectures! if you don't read the book and watch the lectures, you probably won't do well. exams are tricky with specific material that was not covered. i managed to get an A but had to work hard.

She really has a passion for her class and wants everyone to do well. Interesting topics, but not the best class I've ever taken. Pretty easy to get an A/AB.

Easy course. I didn't listen to the video. I just used all the powerpoint notes for studying. Get an average grade for all exams. Paper grade improves it. Read the terms on the textbook. Because I spent so little time in this course and just cram before exam, I'll say it's a easy course if you don't like to study everyday.

I really enjoyed this class! Going to the reviews will make your grade. She basically reviews everything she'll want you to know for the exam. She's very personable and approachable. Watching the lectures gets boring, but you'll have that with any online class.

booooring. i just used the powerpoints for notes. she definitely could ease up on the exams...too many specific things from the book that were barely mentioned came up on the exams, and although i used all the study materials she provided, i still did poorly. don't take it
